seven | game faces on

ALIANNA DID NOT WANT TO BE IN JORDANS APARTMENT AT NINE IN THE MORNING, SHE HATED BEING THERE AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY—LET ALONE DURING THE TIME SHE SHOULD STILL BE SLEEPING. Unfortunately, it was the only free time he had before his game. They were standing on opposite sides of his kitchen counter. Ali had a laptop open in front of her and he was cooking himself eggs at the stove. Ali had to resist complaining about the smell (eggs had always made her nauseous).

It was the first game she was going to as an 'official' couple and she'd decided they needed some ground rules. He'd specifically asked her that they not disclose their arrangement to his teammates—apparently he'd cop too much shit if they found out he still didn't even have a real girlfriend.

"I don't want to be kissed," she stated, not looking up from the screen.

He turned to face her, a deep frown forming on his face. "I should get at least two or three in the bank—one if we win and one when you leave the locker room," he rebottled.

Ali exhaled slowly, running her fingers through her hair slowly. "One in the bank," she compromised. "Either waste it in the change rooms or save it for if you win."

Rolling his eyes, he turned back towards his eggs. "You know, having rules kinda takes the fun out of this."

"I wasn't aware this was fun to begin with," she muttered, taking a sip of her coffee.

"We've had fun together."

"Doesn't count if I was too drunk to remember," Ali remarked.

"Happy to give you a quick refresher course," he said, looking at her with a giant smirk.

She ignored him. "Back—no lower than my jeans, hands, knee and shoulders are the only places I want to be touched—no surprises."

Jordan nodded wordlessly as he flipped his eggs onto a plate and sat in front of her. "So, do I get to make any requests or. . . ?"

"Depends."

"If I score, it goes on your story—"

"Easy."

"—you've gotta wear my jersey—"

This made her groan. "But I've already picked an outfit."

Jordan shrugged. "You'll pull it off."

"I'll make a five minute cameo in the shed—a room of half naked men makes my skin crawl, as is."

He laughed and nodded. "As long as you just say hi to the boys, I'm happy."

"Are you planning on going out afterwards?" She asked.

Jordan rushed to swallow his food before he spoke. "That's entirely depends on what you want to do and if we win or not."

"Why does it matter what I want?" She squinted at him.

"'Cause it looks a bit dodgy if I'm out at a club without my girlfriend. . ?" He replies as if it were the most blatantly obvious piece of information ever.

"Well, I don't plan on being at a club with you again anytime soon," she told him.

"That scared you won't be able to resist my charm again?" He asked, his teeth showing as he smiled ear to ear.

"You're so annoying," she said, rolling her eyes.

JORDAN RIKI REPLIED TO YOUR STORY!
Tries. You hope I score a try.

ALI GREER
i sure hope u try, yeah??

JORDAN RIKI IS TYPING. . .

VERY MUCH AGAINST HER WILL, HERE SHE WAS IN THE ROOM FULL OF HALF NAKED MEN. Jordan looked like a kid at show-and-tell flaunting the newest and shiniest toy. Ali had to admit, she missed having a boyfriend show her off (not that any of this really counted).

"Reece Walsh," said a tan man around the same height as her. He had a blonde toddler balancing on his hip as he outstretched his free hand towards her. The little girl shot her a weary smile.

Alianna accepted politely. "Alianna."

"Oh, we all know," Reece said, earning some laughs from the players around him.

Alianna tried to smile but Jordan had decided to put a hand on her lower back and was rubbing small circles on her spine. It was distracting to say the least. She'd not discussed anything about rubbing.

Another player—this one being as tall a Jordan—reached a hand out to her and smiled. "Herbie Farnworth," he stated through a thick English accent. It made Ali wonder how many players the Broncos imported from other countries.

"Nice accent," she replied, shaking his hand. It took every ounce of her self control not to check him out. (Like, hello? He was quite literally only wearing a tight Budgee-Smuggler.)

Herbie smiled at her before telling Jordan something to do with the plays tonight—Alianna didn't bother to listen. "Goodluck taming this one," he said eventually, looking down at Ali before playfully smacking Jordan's shoulder.

"Yeah, he's a menace," came from another player, this one having shoulder length brown hair. He had actual shorts on—Ali was grateful to see one less bulge.

She'd been standing in front of Jordan and felt his arms snake around her waist as he pulled her against him. She could feel his laugh vibrate through her body and so she forced one out, herself. They'd be having words later about the touching loopholes he'd seem to have found.
